This patch makes it possible to reuse the minstrel rate control ops from another rate control module. This is useful in preparing for the new 802.11n implementation of minstrel, which will reuse the old code for legacy stations. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

This patch cleans up the debugfs read function for the statistics by using simple_read_from_buffer instead of its own semi-broken hack. Also removes a useless member of the minstrel debugfs info struct. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Currently, the padding position is based on ieee80211_get_hdrlen_from_skb(). This is not correct since the HW does padding on RX (and expect the same padding to be present on TX) at the following position : - management : 24 + 6 if 4-addr format - control : 24 + 6 if 4-addr format - data : 24 + 6 if 4-addr format + 2 if QoS - invalid : 24 + 6 if 4-addr format whereas ieee80211_get_hdrlen_from_skb() is : - management : 24 - control : 16 except for ACK/CTS where it is 10 - data : 24 + 6 if 4-addr format + 2 if QoS + 2 if QoS & order - invalid : 24 So, correct frames are not affected : management frames do not use 4-addr format, control frames have no body and invalid frames are ... not valid by definition. However, in order to use monitor interface for debugging purpose, one must be able to send/receive any frames, be it correct or not. Such frames are affected by incorrect padding. Moreover, since padding is added on TX, we need to remove it before calling ieee80211_tx_status. This affect TX packets received by monitor interfaces. It has been tested between an ath5k based card (AR5212) and an ar9170usb based card (netgear WNDA3100) using a frame generator and a monitor interface for each card. v2: Added ath5k_add_padding / ath5k_remove_padding Signed-off-by: Benoit Papillault <benoit.papillault@free.fr> Signed-off-by: John W.

I discovered that if EMBEDDED=y, one can accidentally build a mac80211 stack and drivers w/ no rate control algorithm. For drivers like RTL8187 that don't supply their own RC algorithms, this will cause ieee80211_register_hw to fail (making the driver unusable). This will tell kconfig to provide a warning if no rate control algorithms have been selected. That'll at least warn the user; users that know that their drivers supply a rate control algorithm can safely ignore the warning, and those who don't know (or who expect to be using multiple drivers) can select a default RC algorithm.

Protect rx_tickets and rx_packets[] lists with spinlocks to fix the race condition for concurrent list operations.

We need to make sure we don't associate with APs on unallowed channels (according to regulatory setting). This could happen when the channel is not specified (auto-select) within the connection request. In this case we get the AP's channel until the firmware indicates the association succeeded later. We need to verify the associated channel. If the channel is disabled by regulatory, we have to disassociate with the AP. Signed-off-by: Zhu Yi <yi.zhu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

Check successful completion of BSM loading. Give a chance to load BSM again. If BSM loading is unsuccessful we should exit and not initilize NIC. Before this checking even if the BSM loading failed driver tries to initilize the NIC which should not be the case.

4965 hardware has 7 queues reserved and the remaining ones used for aggregation, 5000 and higher need to have 10 reserved. This is not very clear in the code right now, unfortunately. Introduce a new IWL_TX_FIFO_UNUSED constant and make the queue/FIFO mapping arrays able to hold that value, and change the setup code to reserve all queues in the arrays (the queue number is the index) and use the new unused constant to not map those queues to any FIFO. Additionally, clear up the AC/queue mapping code to be more understandable. The mapping is the identity mapping right now, but with the mapping function I think it's easier to understand what happens there. Finally, HCCA isn't implemented at all and I think newer microcode removed it, so let's remove all mention of it in the code, some comments remain for 4965.

For later station notification support we would like WEP key setting to be done synchronously always. Currently all places from which WEP key is set can sleep, but the usage of sta_lock prevents it to do so. Modify the locking to use priv->mutex instead and thus enable this call to sleep.

These files are incompatible with some changes I'm making, and don't really belong into sysfs anyway as they can only be used for debugging. Since writing them will probably crash the firmware, keep only the reading part and move them into debugfs.

Since rfkill integration, mac80211 can no longer add an interface while the hardware is not ready, so STATUS_MODE_PENDING can never be set.

This code will never trigger, because when we call this during interface start, neither priv->vif nor priv->iw_mode conditions will be true, and when it happens during reset then priv->vif is also NULL. Also, in both cases the same code will be executed as part of iwl_bss_info_changed(), which contains a copy of this code.

Not all queues are mapped for frame transmission, so saying "AC" is misleading. They are all mapped to FIFOs, obviously, though, so use that term and also say AC/CMD instead of just AC for the queue type.

With some of the new code in mac80211, public action frames can be exchanged as non-injected frames even while not associated. Aside from that, dropping frames here is pointless since we do deal with arbitrary frames that were injected already, so let mac80211 make the decision about which frames to allow or not.

All the ICT ISR code is iwlagn specific, and doesn't need to be in iwlcore. So create a new iwl-agn.h header file that will hold agn specific function declarations etc., and move the ICT code into a new iwl-agn-ict.c file that is linked into iwlagn. This also gets rid of exporting those symbols. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com>
